Fox News Analyst Quits, Calls Network a Propaganda Machine for Trump
--------------------------------------------------------------------

A veteran Fox News analyst has quit the cable news network, saying he
can no longer work for the channel "in good conscience." In an open
letter released Tuesday, retired U.S. Army Colonel Ralph Peters writes
that Fox News hosts routinely "dismiss facts and empirical reality."
Peters also blasted the network over its unwavering support for
President Trump, writing, "In my view, Fox has degenerated from
providing a legitimate and much-needed outlet for conservative voices to
a mere propaganda machine for a destructive and ethically ruinous
administration."
